KatjaMouse:See, and the funny thing about the Valium is not that it would numb pain or anything. You just don't care. You'd hear that tooth snapping out and you're just laying there wide eyed and "whoa..." like you're in your own Matrix reality. Apparently on the way home I did a lot of drunk texting, too.

I had the conscious sedation (not this current dentist, sadly). That was wonderful. I don't remember a farking thing except the ride home where I insisted on a cup of tea. Apparently I insisted five more times that day on a cup of tea. I assume I got them... :)

ShadeeJake:KatjaMouse: ShadeeJake: I had a tooth extraction last week and still have stitches in. I wasn't put under and wish I would have ponied up the extra $200 to do so. Oh, the sound of a tooth being snapped out of your jaw. So, I'm cured of the dentist for a while.

My current dental plan didn't cover anesthesia for my gum surgery. I know, right? So I was prescribed Valium. Being the straight lace kid I am I never had it before. Holy crap, I was on 2.5 tablets for that surgery. I was flying, man. Would do again.

I got the Novocaine shots. I expected the one shot at the tooth site, but got a freebie in the soft palate. Lucky me. :/ I think my toes were still curled the whole time. Valium might have been dreamy though.
